Foldable travel bags
Hardly a first world problem but we have a holiday home abroad. We're going soon, we always only travel with hand luggage but when we're there we need to move a lot of our personal stuff (mainly clothes) to another house. Obviously suitcases are the easiest but we ain't taking any so wondered if there were any lightweight bags that we could take in our hand luggage and then use when we're there.
Any recommendations?

IKEA have some bags that may be suitable - I've used them for similar.

Those big, square, tartan-ish plastic shopping/laundry bags that are sold at every corner hardware store or poundshop (and Amazon)
The standard IKEA shopping bags are good too.

Exactly what I was going to suggest but you beat me to it.

Another vote for IKEA.
Couple of cheap examples here for a few £ which are light weight to carry. You could even use their cheaper IKEA Blue bags at 75p each.

These were the ones I had in mind - they zip up entirely and can be carried like a rucksack

Supermarket grocery bags are seriously cheap, and disposable if you want to leave them behind. We use a couple instead of a suitcase if we’re just going to stay with family, and Mr M will use one when he goes into hospital next week.

A foldable duffel or lightweight holdall could work well for this. Look for one with a zip and sturdy handles so it’s easy to pack away in hand luggage.
